Doctor's answer:
Menstrual pain is a common issue faced by many women. Some experience mild symptoms, while others suffer from severe pain. Ultimately, it is primarily caused by poor blood flow due to uterine coldness, which is closely related to your habit of consuming cold foods or drinks during your period, exposure to cold, or indulging in coolness during summer.Treatment for menstrual pain should focus on warmth and uterine warming. First, address the root cause. During menstrual pain, you can use a hot water bag to warm your lower abdomen, drink more brown sugar water, and pay attention to wearing warm clothing.
Next, seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe herbal formulas that nourish the yang energy. Taking these for a period of time will yield significant results.
